Happiness Homemade

What a great title for a book! Here are some encouraging words from it that I wanted to share to brighten your day. For whoever you are, wherever you are, we all crave a beautiful home.

"Our time here is short. 
We can pass through this life but once. 
As we pass along, let us make the most of life. 
The work to which we are called does not require wealth 
or social position or great ability. 
It requires a kindly, self-sacrificing spirit and steadfast purpose. 
Our sphere of influence may seem narrow, 
our ability small, 
our opportunities few, 
our acquirements limited; 
yet wonderful possibilities are ours 
through a faithful use of the opportunities of our own homes. 
If we will open our hearts and homes 
to the divine principles of life, 
we shall become channels for currents 
of life-giving power. 
From our homes will flow streams of healing, 
bringing life, and beauty, and fruitfulness..."  
Ellen G. White

Thus our homes can become a little piece of heaven on earth.

What's been going on in your home? I'd love to know~ My home is always open to calls, visits, and skyping =: )

Sending a little homemade happiness your way~

  2. The quote you shared here is simply begging to be copied and tatooed onto my inner arm...or, perhaps less expensively, hung by my kitchen sink. I love the quotes you find and the perspective you add to them!!!
